XNT 9 DI T is capable of 200/455kHz 2d and 455/800kHz DI

XNT 9 20 T is capable of 83/200kHz 2d

HELIX 5 SI transmits 83/200kHz 2d and 455kHz blended DI/SI

HELIX 5 DI transmits 200/455kHz 2d and 455/800kHz DI

The XNT 9 DI T has been standard on all core series DI units (non-MEGA) since the beginning of the HB DI unit release in late 2011 ...

It is rumored that the tighter 2d cones (200kHz 16°/455kHz 28°) of the XNT 9 DI T was intended as a market towards bottom fishermen (walleye) that needed better separation of targets (fish) close to the bottom from the bottom itself ... (Tighter 2d cones provide better target separation) ...

I've often wondered if Jason Halfen had some input in the design of the XNT 9 DI T because of walleye being one of his main target species ...
